Reese Witherspoon: We Must All...Break This Silence

Reese Witherspoon speaks out against domestic violence on Wednesday (December 2) at London’s House of Commons and promotes a joint campaign by Avon and the charity Refuge.

At a press conference held Wednesday with other supporters of Avon and Refuge’s efforts, the 33-year-old actress said, “‘There remains what can seem like an impenetrable wall of silence around violence and we must all play a role in breaking this silence.”

”I’ve seen so many people who have suffered in silence and who are embarrassed or ashamed,” Reese said.

”You’re not alone and if you reach out there’s someone next door to you in your life who is ready to give you support and care and love and it’s important to know that.”
